I'm grateful we actually have 7 wins right now. If it wasn't for Colon, Washburn, and Vlad we'd be like 3-11. Rest of the roster needs to step they game up.

^If he gets some run support.

And he's still not as good as he's going to be...

By the way, it's his turn in the rotation next Tuesday against the White Sox at that game we're going to, if you can make it.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Oakland A's today announced that they have agreed to terms with shortstop Bobby Crosby on a five-year contract through the 2009 season.

Crosby was named American League Rookie of the Year by the Baseball Writers Association of America last year after leading all AL rookies in home runs (22), RBI (64), runs (70), hits (130), doubles (34), walks (58), total bases (232) and extra base hits (57). He became the fifth Oakland Athletic to win the award, joining Jose Canseco (1986), Mark McGwire (1987), Walt Weiss (1988) and Ben Grieve (1998). The 25-year old Crosby became just the fourth Major League rookie to hit 20 or more home runs as a shortstop and his 22 home runs tied for third best by an Oakland rookie, trailing only Mark McGwire (49 in 1987) and Jose Canseco (33 in 1986). On defense, Crosby set an Athletics franchise record for shortstops with 505 assists, breaking the mark of 504 set by Miguel Tejada in 2002.

^when is he supposed to get back?

A's offense is struggling once again tonight kinda like the mariners

Angels should win this division if their pitching stays strong

EDIT - Whoops - A's just took the lead off K Rod - i retract all comments about Angels pitching and A's offense

^That's what holds K-Rod back. He bounced like 4 pitches in the dirt that Molina was running all over trying to keep up with. If he didn't strike out Durazo on a wild pitch, the game would have been tied on Hatteberg's hit... But since he threw a wild pitch, both runners advanced, and both came home on the single.

About Crosby, maybe like 3 weeks more from what I've heard.

K-Rod has never been completely lights out against the A's, they're too patient. I think in his career he's blown 2 out of 3 save opportunites not counting yesterday. Unless K-Rod is pitching at his 100% best he's going to have trouble with a lineup full of guys who can take a lot of pitches.
